- Man's shawl. The shawl is made up of three strips of warp faced weave textile stitched together by machine. The central strip has an approximate maximum width of 370 mm and is predominantly black with three blue stripes each approximately 21 mm wide. Each of the three blue stripes has nine small bands of diamond-shaped supplementary weft designs worked in bright red yarn. The strips on either side of the central strip each have four narrow blue stripes approximately 4mm wide and one broader blue stripe approximately 15mm wide. All the blue stripes on each of the side strips have nine sections or bands of red supplementary weft diamond-shaped designs. The selvages of the cloth are black with a narrow green and yellow striped section, approximately 3 mm wide at one selvage and 4 mm wide at the other. There are nine bands of red supplementary weft designs on each of the side strips, running in from the selvage in a double row of diamond-shaped designs. The cloth has been hemmed at both ends by machine stitching. [MdeA 10/09/2008]
